Which? The shy, vulnerable Bailey? Or the wholesomely cute Mindy? ---

Bailey all the way. I’ve always had a thing for girls in glasses. ---

Wow, **Johnny** , this was really left-field wasn’t it? I had to google as well. Sheesh. Oh yeah, Bailey. ---

Mindy. I always suspected Bailey had something going on the side with that no-good Frank Bonner. ---

Bailey. Mindy was just too dippy. ---

Definitely Bailey. Mindy seemed a bit whiny to me, and let’s not gloss over the fact that she banged an alien. Plus, I think Bailey would be easier to talk into doing things she really doesn’t want to do. ---

Bailey… IMHO her only competition would be Wilma Deering (Erin Gray) from Buck Rogers. Even then Bailey would win. ---

Bailey, without question. ---

Bailey. Face it, folks, she’s a tough act to beat. ---

Going purely on pubecent and pre-pubecent memories, I had a much bigger hankerin’ for Mindy. Not that my desire for Bailey was insignificant; I just _really_ had a thing for Pam Dawber. I might change my mind looking today at picks of both in their prime, but I prefer to leave my memories unblemished. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bailey-or-mindy/163838.md?page=2)
